Wait for the console device to become available.

History
v6 Changed BOOTDEV_* to INITDEV_*.
v5.1 Corrected call to initdev_register() to be initdev_registered().
v5 Change bootdev_* to initdev_*.
v4 Use new hotplug synchronization infrastructure. Include Braille
console support.
v3.2 Use only a single new command line parameter by adding the possible
value "forever". Add message specifying the parameter to modify to
increase the delay for console initialization
v3.1 Correct the abbreviation for milliseconds in
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to be "ms", not "mS". Thanks to
Peter Anvin for this.
v3 Increase the default delay to 1 second and add kernel command line
parameters to override the default delay. Thanks to David Brownell for
his helpful suggestions.
v2 Wait for the preferred console rather than any console. Make the
delay interval a tunable.
v1 Initial version
